Not your typical webnovel but surprisingly interesting. The first three chapters gave me an "XXXHolic" vibes. Idk why. XD If you love mythology, this may be your cup of tea. I like how the author leaves clues for readers to guess which mythological creature MC will be dealing with. So far I haven't seen any mistake about these creatures or maybe I'm not that aware of them. Will I continue to read this? Yes. Although I hope Lonely could also give descriptions about Arthur himself. What does he look like? What's his end goal? And how he will deal with other mythological creatures that he will meet in the future. Tbh, I'm kinda disappointed when he accidentally signed the contract. I was expecting he will refuse or say something "Wft. I didn't ask for this." I don't know if Arthur is a type of guy that can easily be swayed with words or he's just dumb. Atm, I think he's just going with the flow. As for the shop itself, I wonder if will it also cater petitions from humans.

Thanks for the review :D Honestly, I haven't thought about fleshing about Arthur's character even though he's the mc. The main focus on this story is the mythos and the MC is just the lens I'm using to write about them. You can call the other characters more MC than my MC actually lol.

Yep I noticed that too... guess my hunch was right... I wrote a story for my school project with the same main character... A main character who would become the bridge for the story to be relayed... Now that I knew about your idea, I'm going to support you more from now on... *winks*

Excellent writing, decent grammar, and a well thought out, witty plot, what more could you ask for? With his translations and his previous original novel, Lonely has proved he's an excellent writer, and with such an interesting premise, this novel is destined to do well.

Definitely give this book a try, you won't be disappointed. As of writing this review, there is only 5 chapters, 5 very satisfying chapters. Not a whole lot to discuss though, and as such, you should definetely read it yourself to see if it draws you in!

Shameless author here. Some readers say this is very similar to Trafford's and I have to say I've not even read Trafford. If anything, it's more inspired by House of Horrors and the Percy Jackson series. In any case, I'm glad to be given the comparison to such a quality book. About the book, it's a light-hearted read based in mythology from different cultures. Try it out if you're looking for something light to read.

I quite like how the story is going so far. The style of the story is similar to Trafford's Trading Club, so if you like Trafford's I would recommend this book. I really look forward to all the petitions, and the adventures with it, the Mc will have to fulfill. The Mc is adaptable to his situation but I don't see a Mc that goes with the wind, but has a fire burning inside of him. For example: he does petition to gain wealth to help his family (I didn't see him think about this in the first 8 chapters, if shows later on I dunno about it), find a way to fight the shop and gain full control over the shop, or some kind of ambition. Nevertheless, overall I like how the story is progressing so far (only 8 chapters right now), and I'm interested how the Mc's first petition will go. I hope you'll do well and continue the book, introducing more myths and magical creatures because I love mythology (also 'cause I'm too lazy to research about them. I like to learn about mythology through books like this).

It's really refreshing to read a novel with a blend of what seems so far as Nordic, and Celtic mythology. I hope the author will continue to delve into tales in his story combined with an actual background of European folklore. So far, I was not disappointed.

Sorry that my review is late, I can only really read at night freely before I head off to sleep. Writing Quality - I'm gonna take a wild guess (possibly rude) that your job as a translator provided you with proper experience in making this story. I think I've only seen one spelling error with astray and a stray. Stability - He/She(Don't want to assume) literally pumping it out like a factory. Are you okay? Story Development - You're kind of thrown in there but some balance between expository and narrative is really nice, Character Design - I kind of have a slight peeve with the mc Arthur who managed to be calm with the whole ordeal. Besides that, he is street smart but not very knowledgeable in mythology, which makes up with more content I suppose. World Background - You're kind of thrown in their world, I have no idea if this is a real place or not but it sounds pretty realistic just by the small blurbs and little experiences explained in the novel. Pretty biased as the mayor of the town I'm living in is slowly being filled with warehouses so one of the events happening in the novel I can heavily relate. I'm just gonna be honest, wasn't really expecting to have this in my library since it was just gonna be a review swap but that shattered my expectations. WQ - 5/5 SoU - 5/5 SD - 5/5 CD - 5/5 WB - 5/5
